| Volunteers Needed! May 25 Ballistic Strength and the Nanaimo Kettlebell Club will be attending the Active For Life Expo once again, and we are requesting 1 or 2 volunteers to help us hand out pamphlets, manage questions, etc. Solly will be running a workshop concurrently at the Expo, and will be unable to assist at the booth for 2 hours. Learn More Advice From Will Smith You Never set out to build a wall...it always begins with the first brick Whether your goal is to lose weight, or gain strength, or build a skill - you will never succeed by looking at the mountain in front of you and measuring success by your ability to climb it in a single day of good intentions. "We are what we repeatedly do, excellence is therefore not an act, but a habit." Upcoming Events May 11 - Intro to Kettlebell Sport Workshop, Nanaimo BC June 2 - Comp-Dev Kettlebell Workshop, Langford BC June 29 - Crazy Monkey, Everett WA August 10 - Okanagan Valley Open, Armstrong BC Sept 14 - Grip Strength, Nanaimo BC Oct 12 - Westshore Open, Langford BC Dec. 7 - Seattle PRO/AM, Seattle WA Our friends from the Okanagan are running their very first kettlebell event, and I'd like to put a team together for this one to support them. Who's in?!! Weight Management Seminar Saturday, 11:45am TOPIC: Energy Balance 101 I find that many people I speak to have a general understanding of what calories are, but don't really understand how they affect our weight, what an "average" intake is, or how food choice affects calorie density of a meal, etc. Moreover, I find even less people can accurately describe what the infamous "Calories In VS Calories Out" model is, what all its moving parts are and how they interact, what aspects you can modify and what you cannot, and ultimately what it means to be in a caloric surplus (weight gain), or a caloric deficit (weight loss). Energy balance is the biochemistry and physiology of weight management - but of course, sustaining change in your body composition may begin with knowledge, but it ends with action. The action part is really where most people fail, but do not be one of the one's who fail because you don't understand the basics. If you know the basics, you are also less likely to fall for clever, sciencey-sounding diet marketing. Join me this Saturday for a short review of Energy Balance! There is no cost to attend. RSVP Let's be buddies |
